Servers: Protocols: General

Configuration Options     Related Tasks     Related Topics

Use this page to configure connection settings for various communication protocols that this server can use. All settings on this page apply to connections that use the server's default listen port and listen address. If you create network channels for this server, each channel can override these settings.

Configuration Options

Name Description
Complete Message Timeout

The maximum number of seconds that this server waits for a complete message to be received. If you configure network channels for this server, each channel can override this message timeout.

This timeout helps guard against a denial of service attack in which a caller indicates that it will be sending a message of a certain size which it never finishes sending.

MBean Attribute:
ServerMBean.CompleteMessageTimeout

Minimum value: 0

Maximum value: 480

Idle Connection Timeout

The maximum number of seconds that a connection is allowed to be idle before it is closed by the server. The T3 and T3S protocols ignore this attribute. If you configure network channels for this server, each channel can override this idle connection message timeout.

This timeout helps guard against server deadlock through too many open connections.

MBean Attribute:
ServerMBean.IdleConnectionTimeout

Minimum value: 0

Secure value: 65

Enable Tunneling

Whether tunneling for the T3, T3S, HTTP, HTTPS, IIOP, and IIOPS protocols should be enabled for this server.

If you create network channels for this server, each channel can override this setting.

MBean Attribute:
ServerMBean.TunnelingEnabled

Tunneling Client Ping

The interval (in seconds) at which to ping a tunneled client to see if it is still alive.

If you create network channels for this server, each channel can override this setting.

MBean Attribute:
ServerMBean.TunnelingClientPingSecs

Minimum value: 1

Tunneling Client Timeout

The amount of time (in seconds) after which a missing tunneled client is considered dead.

If you create network channels for this server, each channel can override this setting.

MBean Attribute:
ServerMBean.TunnelingClientTimeoutSecs

Minimum value: 1

Maximum Message Size

The maximum number of bytes allowed in messages that are received over all supported protocols, unless overridden by a protocol-specific setting or a custom channel setting.

The order of precedence for setting message size maximums is as follows:

  1. A channel-wide maximum in a custom network channel.

  2. A protocol-specific setting in the default network channel.
    See



  3. The message maximum in this attribute.

This maximum message size helps guard against a denial of service attack in which a caller attempts to force the server to allocate more memory than is available thereby keeping the server from responding quickly to other requests.

MBean Attribute:
ServerMBean.MaxMessageSize

Minimum value: 4096

Maximum value: 2000000000

Secure value: 10000000
